Marvel's What If Archives

It's embarrassing when anyone has to justify someone's existence, especially for Devery Jacobs, who's emerged coincidentally in back-to-back Marvel projects voicing the indigenous hero Kahhori on the animated anthology series Marvel's What If …? and Bonnie, a cousin of the title character Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox), in the live-action series Echo Ignorant racists online apparently[...]

Wrapping up the short stretch of consecutive releases on Disney+ is the season two finale of Marvel's What If …? with "What If…Strange Supreme Intervened?" taking two of the animated series' biggest characters in Hayley Atwell's Captain Carter and Benedict Cumberbatch's Strange Supreme, two characters that have no bearing on the proper MCU canon of[...]

Marvel's What If …? has weaved the boundaries between the serial and non-serial as Hayley Atwell's Captain Carter travels through time to an alternate 17th century Earth in the episode "What If…The Avengers Assembled in 1602?" The events directly pick up after the fifth episode, "What If… Captain Carter Fought the HYDRA Stomper," where a[...]

While it's not canon in terms of the main Earth-616 realm, which is where the current MCU resides, we have our third in Marvel's What If …? S02E07: "What If…Hela Found the Ten Rings?" which is a severely misleading title given the premise Also, you can come up with tons of Galadriel and Lord of[...]

All season two episodes of Marvel's What If …? are available to stream on Disney+. Marvel's largely played it safe, keeping to within their MCU wheelhouse of characters in various scenarios in the animated series What If …? The sixth episode, "What If … Kahhori Reshaped the World?" offers a refreshing revisionist history that involves[...]

That wasn't even the end as Atwell experienced a phoenix-like rebirth as the alternate version of Captain Carter, which was introduced in season one of the Marvel animated series What If…? that explores the scenario where she – instead of Steve – took the super soldier serum to battle HYDRA and in the season one[...]

In season two, episode four of Marvel's What If…? "What If Tony Stark Crashed Into the Grandmaster?", there's a bit of copying and pasting where Iron Man (Mick Wingert) finds himself at Sakaar rather than falling back to earth during the events of The Avengers (2012) after guiding a missile to destroy the Chitauri mothership[...]

Given how long the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been around, it's hard to believe it only took them 15 years to finally pull on a trigger and do a Die Hard (1988) episode on Marvel's What If…? episode "What If Happy Hogan Saved Christmas?" that has Jon Favreau's Happy Hogan front and center The cast[...]

The second episode of Marvel's What If…? is a minor tweak of 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 that asks, "What If…Peter Quill Attacked Earth's Mightiest Heroes?" which is a much "better" title than asking "What if Star-Lord attacked the Avengers?" Lack of subtlety aside, it literally undoes everything Yondu (Michael Rooker) did for[...]

Marvel's What If…? is about the closest thing for Disney to embrace the hypothetical scenarios without blowing a blockbuster-level budget on a concept akin to atypical anthology standalone stories comic fans are accustomed to As the title suggests, it serves quite the diverse creative muscle showing the potential to highlight auxiliary characters that get lost[...]

The execution of Marvel's What If…? left a lot to be desired with its first season, with the animated series primarily interested in only its core cinematic characters and thus missing out on a multiverse of possibilities It just seems like if you got the screen rights to the X-Men back when acquiring FOX and[...]

Marvel's What If… has taken its cinematic universe in some pretty interesting directions from Peggy's turn as a super soldier in episode one, Chadwick Boseman's final performance as T'Challa in a twist asking if he became Starlord instead of Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) even if it's all constrained within its animated format The third episode[...]
